Lab Baby

Say Something

He stops, feeling his nerves suddenly start to skyrocket but Hongjoong puts a gentle hand on his shoulder, "It's okay, relax. Did you need something?"

"I-I was just trying to bring this to the kitchen," he holds up his dishes, "So that way they weren't sitting in there dirty."

Hongjoong smiles, "That's okay, we could've came by and grabbed them."

"I know but I... I wanted to..."

Hongjoong's eyes widen, "Oh." He quickly clears his throat before nodding, "Well, are you ready to meet everyone? They're ready to meet you." Seonghwa takes a deep breath once more and Hongjoong chuckles, "If you're not ready it's okay, we won't force them upon you. We tried to give you space while you were staying here-"

"It's okay," Seonghwa nods, "I'm ready."

Hongjoong smiles, leading Seonghwa down the hall and to the room on the left which happened to be the kitchen. In the kitchen, sat a large dinning room table and chairs, each one occupied by either a child or a male. Every pair of eyes were on the two wolves who had entered the room. Seonghwa suddenly felt very overwhelmed, more so than the day he was chosen for the program, and Hongjoong seemed to sense it, "Everyone, this is Seonghwa."

"Well it's about time!" A blonde Omega smiles as he stands. He had larger dimples in his cheeks and a sharp nose like a beak, sitting next to a male with black shaggy hair, "I'm glad I get to finally meet the new Omega!"

"Wooyoung," a deep voice called from the end of the table with a warning tone and Seonghwa casts his eyes to the stranger... with red hair...

The visions from when he was giving birth came back to him, and suddenly his eyes flash yellow, "You were the one who took my baby." He snarls menacingly.

Everyone's eyes seem to flash certain colors. Seonghwa could instantly tell who was an Omega, and who was a Beta based on their eyes, those that had red irises could only mean one thing-

The man with red hair stands slowly, his own irises bright red as he holds his hands up, "I know it looked bad at the time, but hear me out."

Seonghwa growls again in warning, when he tried to approach him, "Don't come near me."

"He means you no harm Seonghwa," Hongjoong spoke calmly, keeping a hand on Seonghwa's arm while the other held out to the tall red head.

"He took my baby from me in the cave," Seonghwa snarls.

"With good reason. Seonghwa, you may not know this but when you gave birth you tore and were bleeding profusely. Mingi sensed someone was in our territory and when he got closer to where you were he knew you were in distress. When he came across you, you were in the middle of giving birth in the cave and he said he seen nothing but blood," Hongjoong looked to a male sitting next to Mingi and smiles softly almost lovingly, "After you gave birth Mingi gave the baby to my mate, Yunho, and he brought the baby back here for us to care for while Mingi carried you."

Seonghwa was still tense as he continued to glare at Mingi, the red head. He growls once more, "You still took him from me."

"And if I didn't neither one of you would have survived," the Alpha snarls back, dominance immediately asserts itself present in the room. The wave was so intense, it made a few whimpers escape the children as well as some of the adults. As for Seonghwa, it was so powerful it knocked him to his knees with a gasp. He has never experienced such power coming from an Alpha, he knew Mingi was indeed more than just an Alpha, he had to have been the head Alpha.

The red head instantly steps back, his eyes flicker back and forth between red and brown, "I'm sorry. I know what I did was uncalled for, but it was for a good reason. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have survived and your son wouldn't have made it either..."

Seonghwa swallows the lump forming in his throat as he looks up, suddenly feeling a ping in his heart as he looked up at the red head, Mingi. His wolf wanted him to move towards the Alpha, to be in close proximity and to have the Alpha touch him but he stayed put as he sighs, "I should thank you then. Even if I didn't make it, my baby would've been taken cared for."

"Exactly," Hongjoong helps up Seonghwa, smiling softly at him, "See? We mean you no harm here Seonghwa. We're here to help you."

The last time someone told him that, they were impregnating him against his will with a forced heat.

"Won't you join us?" Mingi gestures to the table, "If you haven't ate already-"

He was cut off with a sharp cry coming from the bedroom down the hall and Seonghwa's wolf fluttered at the maternal instincts. He turns to face the hallway before looking to the others. Hongjoong nods, "It's okay, go to him. Just know you are more then welcomed to bring him out here next time. If you don't want to, we understand. Whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Seonghwa nods, backing himself towards the doorway before nodding his head as he looks between every single pair of eyes, "It was nice to see you all."

"Likewise," Mingi replies, the look he gave the Omega was almost like a longing look. Almost as if he didn't want the Omega to leave and hide in the room he's been in for days.

But Seonghwa was extremely overwhelmed, even more so now that his baby was crying in the other room. With a turn of his heel, Seonghwa hurries down the hall to his baby and closes the door behind him. Once he was in the room, he rushes over to the bassinet and takes his child in his arms, burying his nose in the soft black hair of his child. His fresh newborn scent of baby lotion invades his nose as he breathed in the scent, it calmed him down tremendously.

Minjun whines as he nuzzles his face against his mother's chest, indicating he was hungry and ready to be fed. Seonghwa sniffles to fight back the anxiety growing in his chest, focusing on his baby and his baby only, "I'm sorry little one, I wasn't meaning to be gone for so long."

Without even realizing it, he had lifted his shirt and helped his baby latch before slinking down into the rocking chair across the room, rocking his son calmly while feeding him. Anymore, his instincts make him do things he didn't even realize he was doing but it was all for his child. He was an actual mother, and nothing was going to change that.

Not even a house filled with other wolves and a tall, red headed alpha named Mingi.
